lost narrative poem

Chapter 567 Isn't it sugar?

"Ahem, I mean, because I only know you people, I will naturally pay attention to you subconsciously, so I know about these things..."

Xia Ran tilted her head, finally discovered the problem in time, and quickly shook her head to explain.

"But that's all. You treat it as if your homes are actually very close together, as if you all live in the same community. Usually, when you go back, I can see you all the way back home. ...that's all."

"Really?" Yukinoshita Yukino still stared at him suspiciously.

"Really, unless I really don't care at all, that's why I don't pay attention to you at all, and I don't even have the interest to take a look at you. In that case, naturally I don't know the situation of your family. On the opposite side, you can see at a glance..."

This kind of thing can't blame him for being too strong and sensitive, right?

For Xia Ran, understanding these basic information is like standing in her own room and looking out, and seeing the scene and layout of the yard easily, there is no difficulty at all.

Because the existence of the entire Chiba City is actually no different from the sand pool, slides, swings and other facilities built in his own yard. They are all clear at a glance and under control.

So as long as it is someone or something that he subconsciously pays attention to, he can naturally grasp the relevant news relatively easily... However, he will take care of himself and will not really invade their privacy unscrupulously.

"is that so……"

After listening to the boy's earnest and detailed explanation, Yukinoshita felt slightly relieved and muttered to himself.

Then she crossed her arms and turned her reddish face to the side: "Let's just believe what you say...but now, I'm going back."

This kind of thing is actually hard to say, after all, it depends on the other party's self-consciousness, and she is also willing to believe in the other party, although it is more or less awkward emotionally, there is no way around this.

But there's no point in continuing to struggle. She feels that the most important thing to do now is to go back to her residence first, so as not to be dragged into the night unknowingly while talking.

And since the other party already knew about his current situation and where he lived, there was no need to hide it...

"Really don't want to stay overnight? Sanae and the others are all here. You don't have anything to do when you go back, isn't it better to stay?" Xia Ran blinked and asked calmly.

"No." Yukinoshita pursed her lips and replied unhappily.

They are all here...

It's really a reassuring statement.

"..."

"..."

"Okay okay, I see."

Xia Ran sighed softly, nodded, then raised her hand and snapped her fingers——

"Charlotte."

"Master, what are your orders?" The head maid who had just come down from the stairs just happened to stand in front of him and asked indifferently, waiting earnestly for the master's order.

This kind of subtle and appropriate cohesion really makes it unclear whether it was Xia Ran who chose to issue the command just because the head maid came to him; I already had a premonition of this with a tacit understanding, so I came here in advance to prepare.

"Well, it's so close anyway, so I won't say anything about being safe on the road, let Charlotte take you there."

Xia Ran turned her head to look at Yukinoshita Yukino whose complexion began to change, shook her raised index finger, and said so calmly.

"..."

"..."

Although she already had a bad premonition, when this thing really happened, the girl opened her eyes incredulously.

Just like that, she stared at Xia Ran with the eyes of looking at something strange, showing her displeasure.After a long while, he sighed as if giving up, nodded wordlessly, and said nothing.

——She was a little confused about this person's thinking circuit...

——I even began to doubt whether my panic and instinctive joy just now were really necessary...

——Could it be purely self-indulgent? Has this guy really taken himself seriously...

Under the snow at this moment, the heart can be said to be quite complicated, and the chaos is not enough to describe.

"Miss Yukinoshita, please come with me." Charlotte said at this time, and the puppet girl with silver hair and red eyes seriously and politely made a gesture pointing in the direction.

"..."

The black long straight girl gave up thinking, sighed with a cold expression, and followed Charlotte forward.It's just that her heart is still messed up, and she subtly feels an unusual sense of loss.

dong dong dong-

Follow the head maid step by step up the wooden stairs with a sense of age, to the turning point on the second floor, and then proceed along the corridor until the room at the end. The whole process took less than half a minute time.

"Miss Yukinoshita, we are here." Charlotte stopped, smiled and looked at the absent-minded girl behind her, who just lowered her head and followed her black long straight hair step by step.

"..."

"..."

"Eh? Wait, why are you so, so fast?"

Yukinoshita was distracted with her head down, and after a few seconds, she raised her head belatedly, and subconsciously asked this question.

Then she realized something was wrong, looked around quickly, and thought about it uncertainly at the same time.

like……

like……

Doesn't it seem like it's upstairs?It seems that I followed this doll-like head maid, walked up the stairs from the downstairs living room, and came here, right?Wait, didn't you say you want to go back?

What the hell is that man doing, did he hear wrong?Or did he deliberately tease her like this?

At such a moment, Yukinoshita Yukino's delicate face showed a somewhat dazed expression.

"It's here, just open the door directly..." At this time, Charlotte said softly, as if seeing her doubts, so she made a special answer, stretched out her slender white hands to hold the door The handle, just a slight twist.

——The door of the room was opened by her, revealing the scene behind the door.

"Wait, this, this is... why is this happening?"

Yukinoshita opened his eyes wide in surprise, looking at the familiar scene inside the door, isn't this his residence?

"Because this shrine is built on the boundary line, and the inner part is not even in the real world. Through the Hakurei barrier in Gensokyo, it can be connected to various places in the world..."

Charlotte explained in a flat tone, saying that this kind of spatial disorder is actually a normal phenomenon in this room.

To give a more intuitive example, in the geography of Gensokyo, the Moriya Shrine is located on the top of Youkai Mountain, and the Hakurei Shrine, which is near the village of the human world, is nothing more than a distance between each other. It's just a straight-line distance of about ten kilometers.

But in the real world, these two shrines also exist, and they are the same shrine.It's just that Moriya Shrine is located near the city center of Chiba City, while Hakurei Shrine is located in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture. This huge difference is enough to explain the problem.

Just like the back of the Moriya Shrine in the real world, it is directly connected to Gensokyo, but it does not mean that Gensokyo also exists near Chiba in real geography, and the cities border it, but it is hidden...

In fact, it is located in the deep mountains in the far east, but the Moriya Shrine from the outside world is directly connected to it through the power of the Great Barrier.

In the same way, just because it is located on the boundary line, if you just turn around and change the local direction correction of the enchantment, then naturally you can also connect to other spaces in the Moriya Shrine.

Xia Ran's rich knowledge of mysticism, as well as part of the authority that Yakumo Zi opened to him in the Great Barrier, are fully sufficient to support such a small transformation, and there is no difficulty at all.

It turned out to be like this...

He clearly knew what he was thinking, but he just didn't say it on purpose. This was clearly to make him angry sincerely!

After listening to the head maid's explanation, Yukinoshita didn't say anything, and seemed to be even more angry.It's just that the corners of the girl's mouth curved slightly unconsciously, betraying her true mood, and her eyes were shining like moonlight.

All the previous depression and apprehension disappeared in an instant, as if they had disappeared.

Although this kind of illegal construction without even saying a word, opening up her residence is indeed bad enough... But at this moment, it also gave her an unprecedented sense of peace of mind.

……

……

"Student Yukinoshita, good evening."

About an hour later, Xia Ran was still in the living room, writing and drawing on the paper, stopping from time to time to think about something carefully, and not long after hearing footsteps coming from the stairs, she raised her head and typed call.

"Night, good evening..."

The girl replied with a stiff expression. After hesitating for a long time, she opened the door again according to what the head maid said——

The door became problematic. It was designed as a single door, but somehow it could be opened to both sides. According to a certain direction, it was determined whether the outside of her residence was a normal apartment or directly connected to the Moriya Shrine. The room at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

"Are you... ready to go out?"

Xia Ran stopped writing, looked at the girl's attire carefully, and asked hesitantly.

"……no."

Yukinoshita was at a loss for words for a while, and replied with averted eyes, she also knew that it was strange that she was still dressed so formally after taking a shower, not at all casual at home, but it would be even more strange if she didn't dress like this.

It doesn't matter whether she has come here or not, she always feels that she is no longer in her own home, and she has a strange sense of disobedience.

At least... wearing pajamas in front of this person is still somewhat unacceptable.

"Speaking of which, what are you doing? Doing your homework?"

In order to divert this delicate topic, the girl asked first, while subconsciously looking around.

Dongfengya Sanae has probably gone back to the Sato no Shrine in Gensokyo, and is not here now. The head maid is busy in the kitchen at the moment, and she doesn't know what she is doing.

There is also Saber, this knight girl went out to patrol just after dinner, mainly because Xia Ran wanted to make her feel at ease, so she simply told her to pay attention to this aspect because of the special location of the Moriya Shrine——

People from outside cannot be allowed to sneak into Gensokyo through the shrine, nor can people from Gensokyo run out without permission...

Although, the Great Barrier is actually not that bad, and generally there will be no such serious failures, especially Yakumo Zi should have deliberately reinforced it not long ago, the quality is currently quite excellent, not even Mianyue Toyohime. Way to break into it directly.

But this is not important, the important thing is to let Knight Ji have some "serious affairs" to do, lest she can't compare with Charlotte's professionalism and omnipotence in housework, and become depressed.

Well, the nature is probably the same as the duties of the court master in the Baiyulou in the underworld. In fact, there is no need to guard the Baiyulou, but there is such a position...

It's not that this position needs people, but that someone needs this position, it's as simple as that.

"How is it possible? Although I did have the urge to study hard just now, I calmed down after drinking a glass of water..."

Xia Ran explained seriously: "This is something I plan to do in the future. I plan to anchor an asteroid into Gensokyo, but it is better to make a precise calculation on this matter."

"Really?" Yukinoshita was slightly confused, feeling like he understood it, but also didn't seem to understand it.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this unpleasant thing, do you want candies?" Xia Ran smiled, and seemed to remember something, stretched out one hand and clenched it into a fist, "Guess how many candies I have in my hand, If you guessed right, I'll give you both."

"No need, I've already brushed my teeth." Yukinoshita turned her face away, why is this tone again?

"Just brush it again after that."

"..."

"..."

Isn't it sugar?But yes, this person should not be so naive, maybe he wants to give him something else... Yukinoshita gave him a strange look, then closed his eyes, thought about his question for a while, then cleared his throat and said:

"Five."

She deliberately ignored the hint Xia Ran just gave.

"Well, I guessed it right! I'll give you two first, and I'll give you the rest later..." The boy nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer.
